  • “absolutely economically disastrous”

    George Rebane This is Texas governor Rick Perry’s assessment of the fate of his and other states if the country accepts California’s model for lowering carbon emissions.  And it looks like the nation is headed exactly in that direction as Obama announces his new energy team to be led by Steven Chu as Energy Secretary…

  • Ruminations – 11dec2008

    George Rebane Been meaning to give Dixie Fix a big hat tip for regaining her post as our laudable and informative back fence ‘gossiper’ of happenings in Nevada County.  Dixie Redfearn’s blog is fast becoming a community staple as was her column in our beloved Onion before that newspaper decided to dispense with her services. …

  • A Curious and Interesting Device – WiFi Radio

    Wayne Watson [gjr – Wayne is an astronomer and a teacher.  I join with those who consider him a treasure of Nevada County.  He lives at 121.01 Deg. W, 39.26 Deg. N.] Some of you may have heard of a wi-fi or internet radio. Perhaps not. Store clerks in some of the major electronics stores…

  • Ruminations – 9dec2008

    George Rebane In the mood of the times and doing their part, our Board of Supervisors today unanimously declined to take a 2.3% cost of living increase.  Good move. Roundabout riddles.  The new Grass Valley roundabout under construction at the junction of East Main and Idaho-Maryland is a real head-scratcher.  It is hard to believe…

  • BS Levels High – Sea Levels Uncertain

    George Rebane Reading a recent post on NC Media Watch on climate change and sea levels made me go back and redo some previous research on the difficult problem of measuring sea levels.  The bottom line is that measuring the earth’s sea levels (yes, there are many of them) is still a difficult and unsolved…

  • Ruminations – 5dec2008

    George Rebane Ad losses have put the “newspaper industry into a tailspin”, so reports the Denver Post.  More than 30 newspapers are on currently on the block, notably including The Rocky Mountain News.  Major newspapers like the Washington Post are expected to cease their print editions in the near future, reverting to online news delivery…

  • Ruminations – 3dec2008

    George Rebane Gil Mathew, CEO of ERC, reports that the recently announced ’50 new engineering jobs’ will be confirmed in the new year.  He wrote me that “That was the count approximately 3 months ago from a collection of companies, Telestream, AJA, Thomson Grass Valley, NVision and Ensemble Design.  That number may have been reduced…

  • Big Business Bolts to Bama

    George Rebane It was Lenin who advised his compatriots not to worry about the big capitalists, ‘They will sell us the rope that we will use to hang them.’  Numerous MSM articles (example here) are now heralding the stampede to the left of America’s big corporations. RR readers are familiar with the notion that the…
